belt-test
A playful introduction to Taekwondo that builds listening skills, balance and coordination for our youngest students.
Build confidence and self-control through Taekwondo forms, kicking, self-defense and a clear path through the belts.
Advanced technique and sparring for teens, and a real workout for adults that mixes Taekwondo, Hapkido, Judo and kickboxing.
Pickup from SVUSD schools every school day, homework time and a daily Taekwondo class.
Every belt is a goal a student sets and reaches. Along the way they build focus, respect and the confidence to speak up.
“I got my black belt here under Master Kwak and I have so much respect for him! He is honest, talented and a very good teacher. I’ve been attending AMAA since 2022 and immediately felt like I was given a second family.”
Ariana V. · AMAA student · February 25, 2026 · Review excerpt
“American Martial Arts has been an incredible experience for our family. The level of discipline, structure, and professionalism here truly stands out. The instructors are highly skilled, dedicated, and deeply invested in helping each student grow — not just as athletes, but as confident and respectful individuals. Master Kwak is exceptional… If you want an exceptional experience and are serious about Taekwondo, American Martial Arts is absolutely the place to be.”
Parvathy S. · AMAA parent · Review excerpt
“The AMAA is a wonderful after school program. We can rest assured that our children will not only be supervised but continue their learning day. Not only do they have daily homework time that is supervised but they also participate in Tae Kwon Do… The staff is amazing! They work hand in hand with you to meet your individual need always make you feel like one big family.”
